Replacing the Batteries
(After several years of use, the batteries may need
replacing)
1.
Make sure the ON/OFF switch is in the “OFF” position
(0).
(Fig. 12)
2.
Unclip the battery connectors and remove the old
batteries. Make sure the new batteries are high quality
–
2 Li-Ion Battery packs (3.7 Volt /4,000 mAh) with
matching connector.
3.
Install the new batteries into the battery compartment.
(Fig. 13)
4.
Reassemble the unit by reversing the above procedure.
Maintenance
Clean the solar panels regularly with a damp towel to guarantee optimum
performance. Do not use any type of solvent for cleaning and be careful not to put
too much pressure on the solar panels while cleaning.
Trouble Shooting
If your solar charged light does not come on at dusk despite observance of all the
instructions, please try the following steps:
1.
Make sure that the solar lamp post is not being affected by any other
light source.
2.
Ensure the solar lamp post is not positioned in the shade during the
day.
3.
Make sure the switch on the lamp head is in either the Low or High
position.
4.
Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
NOTE
: The performance of the solar light will vary with the time of year. It will
deliver longer light duration when it has had a full day in the sun rather than a day in
overcast weather.
WINTERTIME TIPS:
For optimal performance, be sure to remove any snow or debris
accumulation from solar panel(s). A solar panel free of debris will charge the
batteries much more efficiently.
WARNING
: Please keep out of reach of children. Do not dispose of Li-Ion battery in
the regular trash, municipal waste stream or by fire as batteries may leak or explode.
Do not open, short circuit, or mutilate batteries as injury may occur. Preserve our
environment by recycling Li-Ion batteries or disposing of them in accordance with
local, state and federal regulations. Do not mix old and new batteries.
